OC and DC replacement discussion

[Bamabuzzard]

I also noticed the deafening silence around Leonhard, and am wishing right with you.

Same here, and I know from reading several other boards that there is some really weird language in his contract with Wisconsin that could be tough to work through. But yeah, I'd love to see the announcement this afternoon that he's our DC.

Was Golding hired at Bama as coordinator? I thought he was promoted from a position coach.

Was hired as linebackers coach and co-defensive coordinator with Lupoi. So however you want to count that

Interesting perspective! My instinct that the DC belongs in the box comes mostly from watching the game on TV and the fact that it seems like at least 2-3 times a game, the defensive team calls a timeout because they can tell from the skybox that there's a trick play on. But I guess it doesn't have to be the DC in the box; just someone who can relay that info quickly.

That's the way it is with our hs team. OC is in booth and the DC is on sideline. DC's work is done during the week in the film room. He schemes his plan based on what he see's on film. Coach in booth just watches for key players in game and calls formations and strengths. DC decides what he's going to call from that.
OC sees whole field from booth and makes calls or changes from way defense sets up. With all the comms available now, I see that set up working the best. (DC on sideline and OC in booth).

This is the way.

My gut tells me Leonhard still might be in picture. It just seems odd that things are so quiet around him when there seems to be a lot of movement in both college and the NFL. I know he has some weird clauses in his Wisconsin contract but you would still think there would be more conversation about his options.

Probably just wishful thinking on my part.

Heard Saban may have had concerns that Leonhard could not handle what was required to be on his staff with the amount of time is required. Also heard we do not need to discount Schumann quite yet.

On a seperate matter, heard Demeco Ryans may go after Freddie Roach. They were teammates at Bama.

Plus Leonhard has no "mitigation" requirement by Wisconsin. He will still get $1 million from March 2023-February 2024 just to do "nothing". No interview requirements, etc..

He can afford to take his time.

So would CNS consider bringing back Bo Davis if Freddie left or is that still a "non -starter" with him? Time heals some wounds. Just wondering if this one is too deep to ever fully close.

If this has already been posted, my apologies. The thread has gotten so big I'm not about to sift back through the pages that accumulate by the minute. LOL!

That would be both great on the Schumann front and terrible on the Freddie front but at least he'd be working with Meco which would be good for both to be on staff together.

freddie played in the 90s and Demeco played in the early 2000s. I remember Freddie from when Iwas a kid watching Alabama and Demeco was during the Shula years.

You’re mis-remembering

Freddie and DeMeco were teammates the exact same time from 2002-2005 under Shula

They were both bright spots during a tough time.

Radio is reporting Rees has been officially hired as the OC

 

[jjv0004]

I am still hoping for Brian Johnson and that coach Saban passes on Rees.

A happy development...

Hallelujah!

Freddie Roach graduated from my rival high school in 2001. He played at Bama from 2001-2005.

This ESPN article from Dec 2022 seemed to indicate he and Fickell had come to an agreement that Leonhard would not be staying on.
